"Remember to eat on time from now on. If the sky falls, I will be the one to hold it up."
Jun Lingyun took Chu Yunxi's hand and walked out of the hall. Chu Yunxi followed him obediently.
"Ling Yun, where are we going?"
"Chunhui Tower."
"oh."
The people in the palace were already accustomed to the fact that His Highness the Crown Prince dotes on the Crown Princess-to-be. They only glanced at her secretly, smiled knowingly, and then went about their business.
In Chunhui Building, the shopkeeper immediately sent good tea to the private room in Tianzihao. He did not forget to smile and ask:
"Princess, are you satisfied with the dishes last time?"
Chu Yunxi couldn't help but smile awkwardly when she thought of the names of the dishes on the table and the box of curious gadgets.
"Hehehe, satisfied, don't order it again in the future, I prefer ordinary dishes."
Jun Lingyun didn't seem to notice Chu Yunxi's embarrassment, and only used the teacup to cover his raised lips.
"The princess is hungry, please bring some pastries first."
Chu Yunxi turned her head, gritted her teeth and looked at Jun Lingyun who was drinking tea leisurely. She was a woman, so she wanted to save face.
Jun Lingyun received Chu Yunxi's resentful gaze and swallowed a sip of tea.
"I am also hungry."
Only then did Chu Yunxi let him go, turned his gaze back, and put on a smile. "Thank you, shopkeeper."
"No hard work, no hard work, I will go and prepare now."
The shopkeeper bowed and stepped back. Jun Lingyun ordered Bai Xiao:
"Go and invite Zifeng."
"Yes, master." Bai Xiao accepted the order.
Chu Yunxi thought for a while and decided to remind Jun Lingyun.
"Your Majesty, he rejected Princess Shengya."
Jun Lingyun put down the tea cup in his hand and touched Chu Yunxi's head. His Xi'er was just too lovable to be liked by others.
I hope Zifeng can open up his heart during this long trip.
Chu Yunxi didn't know what Jun Lingyun was thinking. When she saw the pastries served by the waiter, she didn't know what they were made of. They were all crystal clear, and her eyes were immediately attracted.
Seeing that she liked it, Jun Lingyun picked up a piece and brought it to her mouth. Chu Yunxi opened her mouth and bit off a piece, her eyes brightening even more.
"Sweet but not greasy, delicious. You should try it too."
Just as she was about to take another piece, she saw Jun Lingyun put the pastry she had just bitten into her mouth.
Chu Yunxi's ears instantly turned red, and she opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
“Very delicious.”
Jun Lingyun looked at her tenderly, making her heart taste like pastry.
Fortunately, the waiters started busy serving food, which diverted Chu Yunxi's attention.
It was rare for the two of them to have such leisurely time alone, and it was a very comfortable meal.
As soon as the waiter took down the plate and put on the fruit plate, Jun Zifeng opened the curtain and walked in. Seeing Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi sitting next to each other, he just smiled.
"You two are so entertained."
"Now that your peach blossoms are blooming, will you still envy me and Xi'er?"
Jun Lingyun stretched out his hand and motioned for Jun Zifeng to take a seat.
"Why do you need to make fun of me, cousin? Why bother when I am alone and at ease."
"Then how about I give you a more leisurely job?"
Jun Zifeng then straightened his expression. It was rare for Jun Lingyun to speak. It must be a very important matter.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Jun Lingyun stopped teasing and said seriously:
"I want you to take my place and secretly visit the Dongyi Kingdom."
"Now?" Jun Zifeng paused as he picked up the tea cup.
"Now! Set off immediately."
The firmness in Jun Lingyun's eyes let Jun Zifeng know that he was no joke.
"What do you mean?"
"Spread the news that Dongfang Muze's mother-in-law escaped from the royal family and cuckolded the emperor; win over the eldest son Dongfang Chenze, assassinate Emperor Dongyi, assist the eldest prince in succeeding to the throne, and drive Dongfang Muze to death."
Jun Zifeng raised his eyebrows slightly. The prince was not joking with him, was he? Can anyone think of such a damaging method?
Little did he know that such a damaging method was exactly what the "fairy" in him had thought of.
"Is that news tenable?"
Jun Lingyun looked at Chu Yunxi beside him, and Chu Yunxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember my father's concubine Aunt Liu? And her daughter Chu Xue'er?"
Jun Zifeng recalled that General Chu's concubine had a concubine who married Jun Hongyan and should now be called Xiao Hongyan.
He nodded, but does this matter have anything to do with them?
"Aunt Liu, she should be called Concubine Dan, and Chu Xue'er, should she be called Dongfang Xue'er?"
"Dan Fei? Dongfang? Xue'er?"
The corners of Jun Zifeng's mouth twitched, and he was even more shocked than Jun Lingyun.
Listening to Chu Yunxi's eloquent explanation of the matter, Jun Zifeng's expression was extremely wonderful. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Such a wonderful story, if the storyteller knew about it... Jun Zifeng was very interested in getting involved in this matter.
"Where's the uncle?"
"Bring me pen and ink."
Jun Lingyun gave an order, and soon the waiter brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Jun Lingyun pointed in front of Jun Zifeng, and the waiter understood and spread the paper in front of Jun Zifeng.
Jun Zifeng was confused when he heard Jun Lingyun say:
"You leave a letter and say that you want to take advantage of your freedom to visit the great rivers and mountains. Father, I will give you good cover."
Jun Zifeng looked at the paper in front of him with some resentment. Wasn't this just to make the emperor misunderstand that he went out to play because he wanted to escape from Princess Shengya?
Maybe Princess Shengya would also think so. Fortunately, he had already made it clear to Princess Shengya, otherwise the princess might get angry and cause trouble. The emperor's uncle would not let him go so easily.
Jun Zifeng sighed, picked up his pen and danced around, not forgetting to make a joke.
"I have sacrificed so much, has my cousin figured out how to compensate me?"
"I grant you the freedom to marry."
Jun Zifeng put down his brush and said, "Deal."
Jun Lingyun threw a piece of cloud-patterned black jade into Jun Zifeng's arms.
"Use as many people as you want, don't involve yourself."
Jun Zifeng played with the black jade token.
"In my entire life, I have never had such great power. It seems that this trip is worthwhile."
He put the black jade into his arms.
But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Chu Yunxi's heart tightened, remembering the sentence in the emperor's biography.
"The emperor stole the throne, changed the imperial edict of the previous emperor, and took the throne from his younger brother."
Gentleman Feng has great talent and military skills, but he can only be an idle prince for the rest of his life. Will he be unwilling to do so? Will his ambition be unrewarded?
Should she tell Jun Lingyun about this? If she knew it, what would be the use? Could it be possible to bring order to the chaos? It would just add to the trouble.
In the future, she should look for more opportunities to compensate Jun Zifeng.
"I'll go back and get ready, and I'll set off immediately."
Jun Lingyun stood up and patted his shoulder.
"Zifeng, be careful."
Jun Zifeng nodded, clasped his fists in a salute, and hurried away.
Jun Lingyun put away the letters on the table and was about to send Chu Yunxi back home, but saw Chu Yunxi still sitting in his seat, seemingly lost in thought about something.
"Xier."
He called softly, but Chu Yunxi didn't hear it. Jun Lingyun walked to Chu Yunxi and took her hand.
"Xi'er, it's time for us to go."
Chu Yunxi finally regained consciousness, got up and followed Jun Lingyun out of Chunhui Tower.
On the carriage, Jun Lingyun asked:
"Xier, what were you thinking about just now?"
Chu Yunxi rolled his eyes.
"I'm thinking it's time to take you to see the sweet potato you found."
Jun Lingyun has no doubt that he is there. This is also a major matter related to the people's food and clothing.
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Let's go and see it now."
When the carriage stopped at Tianxia Medical College, Jun Lingyun looked around and saw that it was indeed Xi'er's handiwork.
